Having helped dramatize the Watergate scandal in All the President’s Men, Robert Redford will also bring the so-called “Rathergate” scandal to life in a new movie. Redford is attached to play Dan Rather in Truth, about the controversy that marred the end of the newscaster’s network career.

He’ll be joined by Cate Blanchett, who’ll play Rather’s former producer Mary Mapes. The memoir penned by the real-life Mapes, Truth and Duty: The Press, The President, and the Privilege of Power, serves as the film’s source material. The film marks screenwriter James Vanderbilt‘s directorial debut. Hit the jump for more details.
